Advice	ChrisM	09-September-2023	Have you noticed the price comparisons of most popular orchid products on this website. Unless you have money to burn, they may perhaps be useful to look at.
Advice	ChrisM	09-September-2023	DID YOU KNOW - Many experienced orchid growers recommend using Krista MKP Soluble (or equivalents) for winter food for orchids since it contains no Nitrogen (for growth) but high Potassium (for flowers).
Advice	ChrisM	09-September-2023	DID YOU KNOW - Most experienced orchid growers recommend using Diamond Blue (Campbells) + Nitrocal Calcium Nitrate (Campbells) - or equivalents - for summer food for orchids.
Advice	ChrisM	09-September-2023	DID YOU KNOW - Normal Snail and Slug pellets only last a few days on orchids - you need water resistant snail bait like SlugOut from Nufarm - or equivalents - they last for many weeks.
Advice	ChrisM	09-September-2023	DID YOU KNOW - If orchid bark becomes too dry, they never fully recover their ability to retain water - even if you soak them for extensive periods.
General	BillS	23-July-2023	These are the best prices for bark that I have seen in a very long time.
Advice	BillS	23-July-2023	The comparison tables are really informative - thanks. It is interesting to note that the cheapest fertiliser from Bunnings is 2.75 times more expensive than Diamond Blue for nearly equivalent nutritional values.
General	Mopanie	16-May-2023	Hi Chris. Great idea. I will definitely use OM in future.
